And being done at Foxland has what to do with what???

I think we’ve moven on from this discussion :slight_smile:

I think they were relating it to cost / quality of machining

This reminds me a lot of the Zeekio Space Monkey.

Looking at the Space Monkey, you’re right! Haha, we didn’t even realize that!

In terms of Foxland, they are reliable in making yoyo’s for they have made them countless number of times, and always come out stupendous. But, they are relatively pricey compared to other companies that can prototype.

I don’t think it’s that similar at all.

I’ve seen just about every manufacturers machine work from those who outsource to in house.

Not impressed with Foxland.

I’d take Foxland over just about any other machine shop…Reliable, knowledgeable, easy to work with, great quality, etc.

Yeah, but we were having computer issuers with them which delayed the Capricorn release by half a month :confused:

Stuff happens I guess. Was it you having the issues or Alvin?

He couldn’t read the CAD files I sent. Eventually he made it work somehow tho.

The Gambit is one of the smoothest yoyos I’ve ever thrown. If that’s an example of Foxland’s work, I’m sold.

You are right on the dot!

Capricors are being made at Foxland? I met someone sponsored by foxland.

I thought it was a one man company. I didn’t even know they sponsored people haha

Its a yoyo/machine shop. Just like OD but smallerz

sooo how do they play???

Mainly fast, but can go slow, nice easy wide catch zone, but comfortable and not to wide, D E A D smooth, super SUPER great finger spins even though its raw. With good hands regular grinds are amazing. Great for horizontal, awesome cup design. Only improvement might be the bearing seat. Its tiny tiny bit tighter than I would want it.
